Can you believe 2015 is almost over. Well this is the final haul of the year. :mail: Show us what you got!!
Ok here it is I am almost too embarrassed to post it. But it is a razor. I only hope Rufus T does not look here this month He will berate me mercilessly for getting a girlie razor All in good fun Fufus I actually showed it to my wife and she was not totally repulsed by it. She thought it was comfortable to hold. I am going to work on her to get her to try it.
My Schick type A showed up today. A soak in scrubby bubbles and a quick buff had it looking pretty good.
Man, where are you guys finding all these old Schicks? I am meeting with @DDuckyMark this Friday and doing a trade. So, I will get my first Schick C. I am so looking forward to that.
Ive put in some serious search time on the net finding mine.....I shaved with my C2 this morning and it was great. I think the Type C is my favorite. Both mine jack blades through perfectly, where my A and B have issues.
Great Razor. I own one as well and while I have never used it, I feel an injector collection is incomplete without one.
I am always looking, have my nose to the ground and my fingers in dusty junk drawers and cabinets that even the owners are too afraid to go into.
A full store display of Waltham DE blades, and an ER 100T. The 100T will get a new knot, a paint job (Kelly Green and white), and a Marshall University golf ball marker expoxied into the bottom.
Just found these items in the wild yesterday: The Yardley with bowl was only $4, the Yardley stick was $8 Not sure what these razors are, think one is a super speed. The open comb was marked $20 and the TTo was $15. Got the whole lot for $40 including soaps so I think I did pretty good.
My haul this month will only consist of one item, the custom straight shown below by one of my favourite blacksmiths and knife makers: An 8/8" blade with a wedge grind by Koraat Knives. But although I have waited for this beauty for the better part of a year (Ulrik is kept busy by the shaving community) I will hold off from using this one until well into January because I have committed myself to at least one month (30-days-rule) or more on using my new Fatboy.
That's a beauty! Go on try it. You're allowed a time out in the 30 day Rule I believe. Maybe @Bama Samurai could jump in for a clarification.
Thanks! Yeah I was planning to squeeze in a day or two of straight shaving ;-) It will most likely be the same throughout Jan as well anyway.
That is a beauty! I personally would advise waiting, but totally understand the excitement of a new tool, and nobody is really keeping score...
